Team 3D’s IWGP Tag Title Match from iMPACT Not Recognized by NJPW

– It sounds like there may be some tension lingering between New Japan Pro Wrestling and TNA.

NJPW issued a press release earlier today to formally invalidate Team 3D’s IWGP Tag Team Title defense against The British Invasion on iMPACT last week where Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams captured the titles.

New Japan is not acknowledging the match or the title change. Team 3D are still the IWGP Tag Team Champions and their next defense of the belts will be one recognized by New Japan.

No word yet on how TNA will handle this or what the internal reaction is.
